Can this generator start under load?

John

from Florida

May 23, 2018

Answer

It is not recommended to start a generator under load. The transfer switch will also prevent that from happening.

+−

When positioning the generator, how close to an opening in the house wall can it be?

Paul R.

from Virginia

May 10, 2018

Answer

The distance required is set by local codes and would recommend checking with a local inspector to see what distance is required. The unit itself needs to be a minimum of 3 feet from the house and in some applications, it will need to be more.

+−

Can this Kohler 8kW Home Standby generator be started remotely?

Kris

from Idaho

December 22, 2016

Answer

This unit is a standby generator only and will only power up when utility power is lost. The generator cannot be manually/remotely started.

+−

What is the breakdown of circuits in the 16 circuit automatic transfer switch?

Joseph DaCosta

from Rhode Island

January 22, 2014

Answer

The transfer switch with load center (16 circuit) is blank and does not come with circuit breakers. You can use any configuration required as long as you do not exceed the limitations of the generator.

Please consult with a certified electrician for proper generator sizing and installation.

+−

What size gas supply pipe is needed from tank to generator?

Richard Evans

from Pennsylvania

July 20, 2013

Answer

Fuel pipe size is based on the distance from the fuel source and for the Kohler models the recommended pipe size and max distances are listed in the installation guide and in the Kohler spec sheet....

How does the warranty work? Does it have to be installed by a Kohler certified dealer for the warranty work?

Franz Gerster

from New York

December 13, 2012

Answer

Kohler does not require a Kohler certified installer only a minimum would be a certified electrician.

When a Kohler installer does the installation and start-up the warranty starts the day he starts the unit.

When a certified electrician installs and starts the unit the warranty starts the day the unit was shipped from the factory.

All service and warranty work must be completed by an authorized Kohler service technician.

+−

Is the Kohler a whole house generator.For the price listed does that include everything?

Mike Havenar

from Ohio

August 19, 2012

Answer

This generator (14RESAL) is not designed as a whole house generator. The transfer switch that is included with the generator has a 16 circuit load center so you would only power 16 circuits you select from your existing electrical panel.

+−

How far from house must this particular generator be placed (re: windows, doors and chimneys)? anxious to hear from you. thank you. Eleanor drew

Eleanor Drew

from Connecticut

April 27, 2012

Answer

The installation drawing is available on the site under the specs tab on the generator page.

Typically these units require 3 feet from any non-combustible surface and 5 feet from any combustible surface.

You must also have a minimum of 5 feet from any window, door or ventilation opening for proper exhausting of the unit.
